Reading the Tribune mobile site this morning, I noticed Paul Sullivan wrote a story on the Williams-Hahn transition/double promotion. Curiously, Gonzo was credited with writing a story on a Cubs prospect. Has anyone heard if Sully and Gonzo have swapped beats?

__________________The universe is the practical joke of the General at the expense of the Particular, quoth Frater Perdurabo, and laughed. The disciples nearest him wept, seeing the Universal Sorrow. Others laughed, seeing the Universal Joke. Others wept. Others laughed. Others wept because they couldn't see the Joke, and others laughed lest they should be thought not to see the Joke. But though FRATER laughed openly, he wept secretly; and really he neither laughed nor wept. Nor did he mean what he said.

Did anyone notice at the end of the season that Bruce Levine & Doug Padilla switched Cubs/Sox beatwriter roles for ESPNchicago.com and ESPN Radio? Probably because Sox September games were more "meaningful" and Levine had more clout to get better interviews.

Also, this isn't exactly a "big" announcement to anyone nationally, save for Sox fans who are really into the front office dealings of their team.

It may not be huge news nationally, but Williams has made himself in to one of the more renown GM names in baseball. It would/did definitely garner some attention. Doesn't mean he was the greatest GM, but he made his presence known to the point where most baseball fans know who was the White Sox GM. It should represent a pretty drastic change in how the organization operates.
